WPF ListView with buttons on each line

Question

I have a list of Games which just has an ID, a Date, and a Time. I am setting this list as the DataContext.<

Answer 1

For the first part, add a Button to the DataTemplate and subscribe to the Click event

<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type loc:Game}">
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="auto"></RowDefinition>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="100"></ColumnDefinition>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="100"></ColumnDefinition>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="100"></ColumnDefinition>
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <TextBlock Name="dateBlock" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" Text="{Binding Date,  StringFormat=d}"></TextBlock>
        <TextBlock Name="TimeBlock" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Text="{Binding Time}"></TextBlock>
        <Button Click="Button_Click">X</Button>
    </Grid>
</DataTemplate>

In the code behind event handler, you can get the DataContext of the clicked Button and find out the Id like

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    Button button = sender as Button;
    Game game = button.DataContext as Game;
    int id = game.ID;
    // ...
}

Answer 2

With a ListBox.ItemTemplate. Then in your click event you can get the object via DataContext.

    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Button Content="^" IsEnabled="{Binding Path=IsNotFirst, Mode=OneWay}" 
             Click="btnMoveFDAup"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>


    private void btnMoveFDAup(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Button btn = ((Button)sender);
        // btn.DataContext will get you to the row object where you can retrieve the ID
    }

Answer 3

Easily. Add a Button to your DataTemplate, give it a Command and then set the CommandParameter="{Binding}". The DataContext within a DataTemplate is the object.

As requested, some links to using commands.
